Now this begs a question maybe Gerry or someone else can take a stab at to answer....

Does "chartered watercraft services" encompass party boats? or just 6 pack operations or both.

Like to get a clarification on this. Tried digging thru various NJ and NY web sites for this and no luck so far.

But let's get real here...would any charter or party boat captain want to take responsibility for getting someone sick and maybe dying through transmission from a "asymptomatic" carrier? (A person who has no symptoms but is a "hot" as hell spreading Covid19.) I really don't think so. I know I wouldn't...just my view and how I run my business.

Look, I love to fish just as much as the next guy. But this virus is some really serious shit. If you doubt that, pick any hospital and take a walk through their ER/ICU unit and tell me what you see. Did you ever see someone die of suffocation? Or see someone with a ventilator shoved down his throat?

This disease knows nothing if you're black or white, dem. or rep, north or south, it will kill you just the same. Some very serious shit....just be careful especially if you're a male 60 y/o or older like me.

Exactly.
T has a compromised system due to extremely bad asthma.
I worked from home for over 2 weeks just so I could be able to fish with her in our boat .

As much as I want to fish with my normal crew , I won’t just because I wouldnt be able to fish with her .

Anyone can be a carrier at this point .
As you said this virus is for real .
Hackensack’s most ever on ventilators was 30 before this . Last week they had over 400.
And that’s with all the shut downs going on .

Hopefully much of this will pass in the next few weeks , and we get some new type of normal before summer .
